Better than the old app!
Kevdood83

The last RIPTA app for the bus didn’t let you set up auto-purchases, this one does and it seems much better.


Rip off!

You should of stocked to the $3 for 2 hours instead of $2 for 1 hour. That’s so dumb


Horrible

Honestly, this is one of the worst apps ever made. I had to call customer service to fix my bar code glitch. I’m using the rest of my money on Wave and then deleting it. I would advise anyone and everyone to just pay for the bus far or get an actual bus pass.


300% price increase: UNACCEPTABLE

The only passes available in this app are day passes ($6) or monthly passes ($70). Why is there no option for one-way tickets? If I simply want to go one-way from point A to point B and use the app, I now have to pay $6 instead of $2. Still, I purchased a trial pass and of course, the bus scanner didn’t work. Thanks for nothing, Ripta.


$6 minimum fare?!

Minor omission, you can’t actually buy anything less than a $6 day pass. Fare should be $2 for unlimited rides for an hour, according to the promo materials. Um... Also, too many security questions. I’d rather not waste high security answers in such a minor app that’s likely to be hacked and then have my info stolen.


trash

you have to spend 6 dollars just to get anywhere when a transfer is only 3 dollars. bought a new phone and i’m not able to use the pass the i previously purchased


RIPTA Wave review
Rjohnski

I loaded $40 onto this app My card was charged and the app recognizes there’s a 40 dollar balance But the QR code does not scan on the bus?? Drivers are not trained properly and are ill prepared for today’s mobile technology.Quite frankly it’s not their fault as I’m sure Rhode Island’s funding is a bit screwed up as always. Rock on!!! Ride the wave Baby!!!


Ripta app

Worst app ever made me miss the bus didn’t let me sign up on 3 different emails worst thing ever


RIPTA is a crook!
Piggypotatoes

Don’t waste time or money on this app- nothing about this app is easy. Every time I add money, which has to be a minimum of 6 dollars every time my funds are taken and I can’t get on the bus. RIPTA is no help- I’m forwarded to line after line and hung up on many times. In total I’ve had to dispute $50 dollars with my bank over this crummy app. Should of stuck to the first app you let riders use- it was SO much simpler.


Deleting
Jamikaaaaa

Won’t even let me sign in which is crap
